Note:
Other current English League managers who were the right age, but I do not yet have confirmation of their place on the site due to not having a playing career in England are: Arsène Wenger - Arsenal.
Graham Barrow Assistant Manager at Chester City was born in 1954, but I do not yet have the proof that he was an apprentice in 70-71.
Steve Coppell - Reading was born in 1955, and again I do not have any proof that he was on anyone's books in 70-71.
Index
From 2005-2006 the layout of the Rothmans/Sky pages was changed to an easier Players A-Z of those Bob70-71 Players who still have a position in professional football, including non-league and non-English clubs or international positions.
Previous to this the site's original format which was based on the player being listed in Sky Sports Football Yearbook. This source is no longer the only way of finding out the information, and it has started to list fewer and fewer posts beyond manager and coach.
1999-2000
2000-2001
2001-2002
2002-2003

Note: For a fourth season Sky Sports have taken over the sponsorship of the Football Yearbook, which is now in its 37th year, having been sponsored by Rothmans for the first 33 years. The book is edited by Glenda Rollin and Jack Rollin and published by Headline, London in 2006.
